I'm biking 100 km to raise funds in Bikes Not Bombs annual bike-a-thon which takes place on September 10th.
Bikes Not Bombs is a small, non-profit that has been making a difference by using the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South (e.g.; El Salvador, Rwanda, and Kenya).
For nearly 40 years Bikes Not Bombs has made a global impact:
In our community - by engaging and training young people in the earn-a-bike and other programs.
For the environment - by reclaiming thousands of unwanted bikes, and encouraging sustainable transportation.
Across the world - by sending these bikes (along with tools and training) to groups in third world countries where they are reused.
You can help keep this all going by making a donation here.
Finally, you can sign up for the ride yourself at https://bikesnotbombs.org/ - there are five distance options to choose from (10 to 100 miles).
